Definitions

• This disclosure relates to a lubricating oil compositions and methods of using the same. More specifically, the lubricating oil compositions provide rust protection in hybrid vehicles.
• Modern lubricating oils are formulated to exacting specifications often set by original equipment manufacturers. This often requires blending carefully selected lubricant additives with base oils of lubricating viscosity.
• the classes or types of lubricant additives found in lubricating oil compositions include, for example, dispersants, detergents, antioxidants, wear inhibitors, rust inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, foam inhibitors, and/or friction modifiers.
• the specific application or use e.g., hybrid vehicles will typically govern the set of additives that goes into a lubricating oil composition.
• Hybrid vehicles rely on two distinctly different types of motive technologies - internal combustion engine and electric motor.
• the internal combustion engine mainly drives the vehicle at high speeds.
• the electric motor drives the vehicle at low speeds and can also assist the internal combustion engine when additional power is needed. It is important for hybrid vehicles to distribute power from the engine and the motor in a well-balanced manner as the vehicle speed increases.
• Hybrid vehicle typically feature a start-stop system in which the engine stops when the vehicle comes to a stop and the engine fuel system suspends when the vehicle is driven only by motor or braking. Consequently, accumulation of water and fuel in the oil is a problem as the engine is not able to sufficiently evaporate the water and fuel. This results in the formation of unstable emulsions which negatively impacts engine performance and leads to corrosion/rust in engine parts.
• hybrid vehicles and conventional automobile vehicles are significant enough that conventional engine oils are not optimized for use in hybrid vehicles.
• lubricating oil compositions designed specifically for hybrid vehicles are needed. More particularly, there is a need for lubricating oil compositions that improve corrosion/rust protection of engine parts in hybrid vehicles.
• WO 2021/059115 A1 discloses an internal combustion engine lubricating oil composition which is used for improving the ability of a lubricating oil contaminated with water and fuel to reduce corrosion in the engine of a hybrid vehicle.
• a lubricating oil composition for hybrid vehicles comprising: a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; an ethoxylated alcohol demulsifier of the following formula: R 1 -(O-R 2 ) n -OH wherein R 1 is a branched or linear hydrocarbon group having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 is a saturated hydrocarbon group having 2 carbon atoms, and n is an integer from 1 to 10.
• a method of reducing corrosion in hybrid vehicle comprising: supplying to the engine of the hybrid vehicle a lubricating oil composition comprising: a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; an ethoxylated alcohol demulsifier of the following formula: R 1 -(O-R 2 ) n -OH wherein R 1 is a branched or linear hydrocarbon group having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 is a saturated hydrocarbon group having 2 carbon atoms, and n is an integer from 1 to 10.
• a “major amount” means in excess of 50 weight % of a composition.
• a “minor amount” means less than 50 weight % of a composition, expressed in respect of the stated additive and in respect of the total mass of all the additives present in the composition, reckoned as active ingredient of the additive or additives.
• Active ingredients or “actives” or “oil free” refers to additive material that is not diluent or solvent.
• oil soluble means that for a given additive, the amount needed to provide the desired level of activity or performance can be incorporated by being dissolved, dispersed or suspended in an oil of lubricating viscosity. Usually, this means that at least 0.001% by weight of the additive can be incorporated in a lubricating oil composition.
• fuel soluble is an analogous expression for additives dissolved, dispersed or suspended in fuel.
• An “engine” or a “combustion engine” is a heat engine where the combustion of fuel occurs in a combustion chamber.
• An “internal combustion engine” is a heat engine where the combustion of fuel occurs in a confined space ("combustion chamber”).
• a “spark ignition engine” is a heat engine where the combustion is ignited by a spark, usually from a spark plug. This is contrast to a “compression-ignition engine,” typically a diesel engine, where the heat generated from compression together with injection of fuel is sufficient to initiate combustion without an external spark.

• the ASTM D1748 test (humidity cabinet rust test) was performed in a similar fashion. A lower rust rating indicates better anti-corrosion performance. A rating of 10 or lower indicates a pass rating.
• the mixture containing test oil and distilled water was prepared according to the following steps:
• a lubricating oil composition was prepared that contained a major amount of a group III base oil of lubricating viscosity and the following additives, to provide a finished oil having a 5W-30 SAE viscosity grade:
• Examples 1-5 were prepared identically as Comparative Example 1, with the addition of 0.5-1.0 wt% of an ethoxylated alcohol demulsifier, ethoxylated secondary alcohol, shown in Structure 1.
• Table 1 summarizes the JIS K2246 results.
• Examples 1-5 containing the additional demulsifier shows improved rust inhibition compared to the baseline formulation.
• Table 1 Compound (wt%) Comp.

• ranges from any lower limit may be combined with any upper limit to recite a range not explicitly recited, as well as, ranges from any lower limit may be combined with any other lower limit to recite a range not explicitly recited, in the same way, ranges from any upper limit may be combined with any other upper limit to recite a range not explicitly recited.
• ranges from any upper limit may be combined with any other upper limit to recite a range not explicitly recited.
• within a range includes every point or individual value between its end points even though not explicitly recited. Thus, every point or individual value may serve as its own lower or upper limit combined with any other point or individual value or any other lower or upper limit, to recite a range not explicitly recited.
• compositions, an element or a group of elements are preceded with the transitional phrase “comprising,” it is understood that we also contemplate the same composition or group of elements with transitional phrases “consisting essentially of,” “consisting of,” “selected from the group of consisting of,” or “is” preceding the recitation of the composition, element, or elements and vice versa.
